Canadian Health & Care Mall Hacked my email & sent a link for their website (featuring male enhancement products) to everyone in my contacts list! Internet

On Tuesday, Feb. 2, 2010, I started receiving messages from friends wanting to know why I was sending them a link for a male enhancement website.  I had no clue what they were talking about, since I hadn't been into my personal email since the previous Sunday.

I logged in to check it out and discovered that the same message had been sent to everyone in my Contacts folder - many of whom are business related.

I had to send out a blanket email telling everyone that my account had either been hacked, or had a virus inserted, and that the message had not come from me. I asked them to delete it without clicking on the link, because I had no idea what the consequences would be.

I then apologized for the whole issue.
